    Interior
    Elonia W.

    We were greeted as we walked in and seated immediately. The interior is a little dated, and could use a little TLC. Our server was Chuck and he was great and gave great recommendations. I had the 10 piece shrimp with flounder and chose the fried potatoes and coleslaw as my sides. My husband had the twenty piece shrimp meal with fried okra and red rice. The food was delicious except my husband did not like the rice. He said it needed more seasoning. The only other negative is our server did not refill our drinks. Overall we were happy that we stopped to have lunch on our way home.

    $12 Shrimp platter!

    Superrrrr affordable and a cute, vintage spot. The restaurant is mostly occupied by older people making it a great spot to bring an older loved one. Staff is very helpful and kind. Very old-school charleston vibes.

    Shrimp special with 2 sides only $14.95!

    I loved this local joint! Service was very friendly and quick plus patient with us being reminded of the specials haha I went with half grilled half blackened shrimp (you can choose grill, blackened, or fried) and 2 sides of choice where I went with the slaw and grilled potatoes. Shrimp was seasoned nicely, didn't find it overly salt. The crew also brings tartar sauce and cocktail sauce plus on request ketchup and hot sauce. I enjoyed their white wine selection so got a glass or two of the Pinot Grigio plus they got a good selection of local and domestic beers. My friend got the fried grouper and enjoyed their meal too. Nice local spot to enjoy a quiet seafood dinner.

    Shrimp platter special with grilled potatoes and fried okra. Plus a side of hush puppies.

    I was greeted as I walked into the restaurant. My server Chuck was friendly, welcoming and attentive. The food was delicious! I was able to order 2 types of shrimp so I didn't have to decide. Chucks recommendations were spot on with grilled potatoes and fried okra for sides. The hush puppies were perfect! Yes the place is a little dated, but it's part of the charm! The place feels warm and cozy. Would definitely go back.

    We've driven by numerous times, then we saw the shrimp plate special on a site on Facebook and we finally decided to stop in and try it out. The restaurant is definitely old & very dated inside. But I've been to some places like this and they've rocked my world. Anyways, my husband and I ordered two shrimp specials, (20 fried shrimp with 2 sides for 12.95) and though and awesome price, it scared me at the same time. My coleslaw tasted a tad sour, so I didn't eat it, the fried okra was over fried, and left an after taste and the condiments, well they matched the restaurant.... The shrimp were on the small side but were the best part of all of it. All in all it was probably a one and done for us! There's just too many places in Charleston to keep up ... I was hoping to really kick myself for not coming sooner too. To each their own!

    Listen up all you "Johnny come Lately" yelp reviewers with your ridiculous expectations of a tried and true local restaurant. I know not many people are actually from here anymore, so it comes as no surprise that a lot of people don't understand this place. This is an actual local restaurant with local connections to Charleston. There's no brand new "Native" stickers or disgusting Ohio modified Palmetto Trees on the windows. It's a real Charleston treasure. I've been going to Easterby's for over 30 years since it was on James Island. I'm not sure how you did it up north, but from the bottom of my heart, I don't care. Is Easterby's an upscale 5 star restaurant serving caviar and fine wine? No..... Quit acting like it's supposed to be! It's exactly what it should be and what its always been. Easterby's is good food, laid back local atmosphere, and great prices. I'm sorry if you spilled cocktail sauce on your bowtie or don't like the size of the plates they serve food on. Give me a break. It must be awful lonely up there on your yelp judgement throne. And quit ordering steak at a seafood joint! Where else can you go in Charleston nowadays and get a plate full of fried shrimp plus two sides for $13 at dinner? No where. Easterby's has character and good food, and this local doesn't want it to change.

    I went here for a fast lunch jus to try it out I wanted some Grilled shrimp and my server can't remember her name she was great. I ordered 12 grilled shrimp and it was only about $9. The shrimp were 4/5 star I jus wished that had some Tabasco sauce to go with it .

    Right on Ashley River Rd (SC61)

Upon arrival, we placed our order on the counter and were surprised by the variety of options and the affordability of the menu overall. We ordered fried shrimp and a combo of catfish and shrimp, both came with fries and a soda. We knew it was all made to order to a delay was expected, what we did not expect was the length of the delay. There were a bunch of group orders placed over the phone before us which made our wait close to one hour. the food eventually came out, but the wait was painful . I kind of wish they prioritized in-house orders of people waiting instead of to-go orders , but so is the system. I think I will call ahead next time to make sure the food is ready when I arrive The food was good and enjoyable as was the staff who were super kind and working extra hard with the high volume orders. The decoration is nothing fancy and more of a very campy ocean theme which I personally found amusing.

BUT...did i mention BUT....bring you own METAL lobster fork and metal cracker because the plastic made life difficult. THe drinks were cheap and refillable..... The place is basically a Chinese fish and chicken take out with some seating. Please clean those windows. Because if the windows, where customers sit at are that filthy ; makes you wonder how clean is the kitchen. We will be back (hope management reads about the windows)

I paired it with slaw and a roasted vegetable medley (extra roasted), which was phenomenal. The next day at lunch, I ordered the Greggah--their lobster roll. Perfectly seasoned cold lobster meat piled into a top-split, buttery roll, finished with a twangy mustard sauce that adds just the right kick, and served with drawn butter. On the side were roasted vegetables (excellent again) and slaw that was crunchy, creamy, and unmistakably Lowcountry in style. I also added the made-in-house, from-scratch crab balls appetizer. Perfection on a plate. Since I was in town working, I returned the following day for lunch and splurged a bit. It was Clam Day Wednesday. I had a dozen steamed clams, a half-pound of steamed shrimp, and a half-dozen Parmesan-style char-grilled oysters on the half shell. The clams were absolutely perfect--sweet, tender, juicy, and ready to be plucked from the shell. The oysters were delicate morsels of pure deliciousness. The shrimp were perfectly cooked, ideal with cocktail sauce. I left extremely satisfied. The restaurant sits on the corner of a shopping center with plenty of parking out front. Inside, you're likely greeted right away. There are tables, booths, and a full bar stocked with all the libations you could want. Be sure to check the chalkboard for daily specials and the current oyster selections. They brew their own tea--no mix, no concentrate. The staff is friendly and attentive.

Honestly, I make Creole / bbq shrimp at home and they're always MUCH better than what I got at The Darling. The service (with the exception of the lousy recommendation) was decent enough. If I ever go back, I'll probably stick with oysters on the half shell. (Sorry no pic. I actually took one that day, but subsequently deleted it because it was so bad.)
